An iPhone-owner friend of mine recently sent me an article by Michael Gartenberg, author of the Entelligence column on Engadget. Mr. Gartenberg’s article, “Entelligence: Will Android fragmentation destroy the platform?”, presents some interesting things to consider, but is surprisingly inaccurate on a number of critical details. I thought it would be useful to summarize his [...]

The days of downloading web content and uploading videos from mobile devices to YouTube without caring about costs may eventually come to an end. That’s the lesson to gather based on recent comments from executives at both AT&T and Verizon. Last week, AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson said that a transition to “variable pricing” was in [...]

We all knew the Nexus One was heading to Vodafone, after all the Google Store has had it listed as coming in “Spring 2010″ for a while. But at the same time we have yet to see the listing extended to the official Vodafone UK website, that is until now. Of course you cannot yet [...]

Rumor: Verizon’s Nexus One only sold online, has Sense UI? [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Just to be clear, Sense being on here is a reach. My previous comments expressing doubt weren’t clear enough and came at the end, so I’ve amended the post to reflect that. The image cited in this story has some holes in it, including the phone listing a Qualcomm QSD8250 chipset. That chipset is [...]

FCC Test is a speed testing application that will help U.S. residents see data speeds for downloading, uploading, and latency (delays in processing network data).

The inventor of the cell phone is a fellow Android

Martin Cooper, the undisputed inventor and king of the cell phone has been sporting one of the newest Android phones on the market, the Moto DROID. I want to say that it’s because he loves the idea of an open, free operating system, and the he is a Google Android fanboy at heart but it [...]

Foursquare updates Android app just in time for SXSW

Foursquare has updated its Android app as part of a multiple-OS refresh before the South by Southwest festival. But while the iPhone version of the app got a beautiful makeover last week, the Foursquare for Android app remains the blue-headed stepchild. The interface remains bland graphically and doesn’t include the easy access to Shout or [...]

We have seen a fair bit of information regarding the Samsung Galaxy Spica lately and now we have found a hands-on video. Unfortunately for the handset, this video does not make me want to purchase one. And while I hate to do nothing more than poke fun at a video, this just makes the phone [...]

The HTC Incredible is not a handset that has remained hidden. We have seen more than our fair share of leaked images, and now once again we have more images. And this time those images have come with some specs. In terms of the specs, Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED Screen (800×480) Optical Trackpad 1Ghz Snapdragon [...]

Google Product Search mobile adds “in stock” marker to products

Who really wants to call a store to see if an item is in stock? Personally, I can’t stand the process of finding something online that I want to purchase at my local Best Buy or Staples and then calling them to see if said product is in stock. Google Product Search mobile is changing that [...]
